Referring to Gladstone. he said no other great
eader had ever launched great issue or fought
for great cause with spirit SO entirely forget
full of its own personality and SO entirely shut
hng out the mean, igpoble considera-
ions which seemed to affect ignoble
minds. The crimes bill had awakened
tens of thousands of Liberals to what they did
when they rejected Gadstone's policy. He re-
pudiated the accusation that the Liberals coun-
tenanced violence and obstruct ion in Parlia-
ment that they allied themselves with men
whose hands were stained with outrage. He
reminded Chamberlain that he, in the Fort
nightly Review for February. 1886, advised that
the Parneilite leaders he taken into the coun-
ellis of the Queen. The roundtable conference
had been suspended because Cham berlan,
though concliatory in his conclusions. continued
in speech and letter TO publicly revive the old
bitterness. The Unionists proposed to settle
the question by ignoring fves sixths of the Irish

inquiries found the accusation could not be sub

made by tho Times until that paper explained
how it obtained the letter and its grounds for
believing its authenticity, he should content
himself with Parnells denial. On the fringe of
every popular movement were some bad men.
but it was a mistake to call the Irish American
Home-ruers the scum of the earth.

PARSON NEWMAN ~ TROUBLE.

His Washington Church Divided Over the
Existence of a Social Club.
Washington Special.
The Rev. Dr. John P. Newman is in hot water
again. The Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal
Church in this city seems about to share the fate
of Dr. Newman's former church in Madison ave-
nue., in New York. The particular cause of the
present dissenson is the existence of Wit
more Cub" When DR.. Newman assumed
charge of the church the CLUB which had been
started by his predecessor DR.. Huntley, was in
a lourishing condition. 1t was in tie habit of
giving 'socials," at which different members
would eGe recitations. readings or songs. These
''socias" occurred every second Wednesday in
the month. In this way the club furnished the
Sunday-school with an organ, the infant class
with another, and altogether the means of
providing some $500 to the necessary expenses of
tie church.
On the first Sunday of DIR. Newman's pastor
ate he expressed the hope that that would be
''the last time he would ever have TO speak the
word club in connection with any organization
attached to the church" Accordingly, at the very
next meeting of the society, the Objectionable
word club" was dropped from the name and
the association became simply the ''Witmore."
Shortly after DR.. Newman had been installed
the members of the club wanted to get up
tertanment to clear off small standing debt,
but the Doctor hoped that none of his young peo-
pie would ever take part in an entertainment at
which an admission fee was charged. Nor would
he consent to have the church desecrated by
allowing such proceeding within its walls.
Having placed himself upon record on this sub
ject positively. the young people were rather
surprised when, short time ago. he announced
that he had prepared series of lectures upon
his recent tour around the world which would
be delivered in the church. ard to which tickets
would cost 30 cents; also, when he allowed the
church 10 be used by the women sutfragists for
their annual convention, since the leaders of that
movement are most of. them pronounced Tree
thinkers.
the chickering's between the Doctor and the
club went on in this manner for some time The
club refused tc Gishand at the Doctors sugges-
tlon. Accordingly the Doctor prepared set of
charges against the erring association and at a
recent meeting of the trustees of the church
formally presented them. The exact nature of
the charges has never been ascertained by any
member of the "Witmore.' Tne trustees took
the matter under consideration. and brought in
true bill against the ..Witmore.a The mem
bers of the club claim that the trustees report
was read hurriedly. and before the friends of the
club had an opportunity say word. DIR.
| Newman rushed it through. and IL was odopted.
One more effort was make by DIR. Newman on

Total bills pass $685. 573, 99363 s24s, $500 81
A part of this increase is owing to the
Mexican pension bill, which appropriates
$6,000,000 But included in last years
appropriations were the amounts of So
769, Q15.2S for Alabama claims, and ST.
050,000 for the new library building at
Washington. The increase of over ST.
800, 900 in the postoffice appropriation is in
part due to the creation of large number
of new Offices, especially in Virginia and
other Southern States, by which convenient
places have been made for working Demo-
Gratis. The increase of half million dol
lars in appropriations for the District of
Columbia is also significant in view of the
operations of the real-estate ring there.
In commenting on these facts the New
York Tribune says that when the appropri-
atoms for 1886 were made, Democratic
journals denounced the proposed expend-
iture, rs aside from the pensions, greater
than any authorized by the very worst Re-
publican Congress that had ever assembled.
At the last session closing the term of
the Forty ninth Congress, this increase
@beyond the worst Republican Congress-, {"
was still further increased, while appropri-
etions for rivers and harbors. to pay def
ciencies and for Notifications were defeated.
The amount would have been further in
creased by $50, 000,0 900 if these bills had

unsuccessful attempt to steal the body of
the late President Lincoln. The marble
sarcophagus in which it was inclosed, and
which was exposed to the view of visitors
through the iron grating on the north side

the robbery was to be attempted, and aban-
